The following is a list of conferences that may be wonderful opportunities
to promote our mission, including in-arms parenting, traditional baby
wearing and traditional ways of birthing and community. Being included
in the list here does not mean that the Rebozo Way Project endorses
a particular conference or event, but that we have become aware
of these opportunities and would like to pass them onto anyone who
may be interested in having a booth or doing other promotion at these
types of events. We also support those who spread the word about our
mission by providing a Booth Kit for use
during conferences and other events. Most events offer a reduced fee
for booths that represent non profit organizations, sometimes with
the requirement that only information be provided and that nothing
be sold at the booth. If you know of an upcoming conference or related
event that you would like listed here, please send us the info by
email to conf@rebozoway.org
or by snail mail to The Rebozo Way Project, PO Box 22506, Santa Barbara,
CA 93121. thanks.
